| Background | 'I've had a look at that key you found. See here, it is etched with the runes for...let's see, the style is old. "Flame." That's it, it means Flame, or perhaps Fire. And this one is Deep, or Deeps, or wait, "Chasm", I think..
'I think this one I've managed to solve for myself, at least in part. I imagine he is referring to the great chasms and flames found in the area near Anazârmekhem. I know a clever dwarf by the name of Gapi, who has been posted there; he may be able to help you. Let me warn you, though, the trek there is very difficult and would take you either through the Waterworks to the south of here and then eastwards, or through Zelem-melek and then southwards. That is assuming they are still alive by the time you reach them. You may wish to wait until you are more experienced with the ways of Khazad-dûm before heading there.
'That is the best advice I have. Now, if it is all the same to you, I have more records to study, and Falgeirr's maddening riddles have taken up quite enough of my time, thank you!' |
